Reiki Hand Positions Treating Other People

These are most of the reiki hand positions suggested for use in doing Reiki. You can also work down the leg as well around the knee, ankle and foot. Always be respectful when you place your hands on someone. Obviously, in some of the positions you will want to work a few inches above the body. This works just as well as having your hands on the body. Please note it is very important that you keep your fingers closed together.

A complete treatment can also be given with the hands 2 to 4 inches from the body using the standard hand positions. Because the hands are in the aura, Reiki first treats the aura before entering the physical body. Dis-eases exist first in the aura before manifesting in the physical body. Treating through the aura will help prevent physical dis-eases before they develop.

The Reiki energies will act in a different, often more powerful way, when using this technique. They will easily travel through the aura to other parts of the energy field, often flowing through and surrounding several areas at once, filling them with warm, loving energy before entering the physical body at the places in need.

Many people find this method to be more effective, while others prefer physical contact. You can use on or the other or you can mix them both together. Simply allow your intuition to guide you in deciding where to use physical contact ,and where to treat through the aura.
